PLOW LINE GUI DE Filed June 17, 1950 I nvenlor A llo rney Patented Oct. 20; 193i ED TAT PATENT- o FFic DAVID H. CAI SON, OF SUPPLY, NOBTI-I CAROLINA PLOW LINE GUIDE Application filed'June 17, 1930. Serial No. 461,775.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in means for protecting and guiding plow lines on agricultural implenients.

During the course of the following specification and claim, several important objects J View taken substantially on the line 3-3 of .Fig. 2.

- Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral. 5 represents the horse collar with the hame 6 in uxta-position with respect thereto. 7

Numeral? represents the boss on the hame through which the ring 8 is disposed. Supplementing this ring 8 for guiding the plow line 9 is the guide structure generally-referred to by numeral 10. Guide 10 includes a pulley block 11 with a pocket 12 therein'to receive the grooved roller or sheave 13 on the pin 14.

One side 1141 of the block 11 terminates inwardly of the head 11 of the block to pro.- vide an entrance 15. This entrance 15 is nornially closed by the bolt 16 projected upwardly by the coiled spring 17 A'pintle 18 on the bolt 16 permits actuation of the bolt.

Obviously by retracting the bolt 16, the plow line 9 may be placed within the pocket 12 so provided in awall of the recess 21 and ex;

tending lengthwise thereof.

It is also believed to be clearly apparent from the accompanying drawings that the bolt 16 is of a length to close the entrance 15 when the bolt 16 is moved in a direction toward the head 11 p v Although the foregoing specification sets forth'the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood-that numerous changes in the shape, size, and materials may be'resort'ed to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is Y A plow line guide comprising a pulley block, one side wall terminating inwardly of the head of the block to provide an entrance within the block, an attaching member swiveled to the head of the block, a roller rotatablysupported within the block inwardly of the entrance, a sliding bolt extending within the aforesaid wall of the block through the 'wall of said block opposed to the block head,

said bolt'being of a length when moved toward the head of the block to' close the entrance. 1

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

as to operate against the pulley wheel 13. A

snap fastener 19 is swivelly connected to the block 11 as at 20 thus permitting the guide to swing to various positions to compensate for the movement of the plowline 9.

The bolt 16 extends within the wall 11a through the end of said wall opposed to the block head 11, said wall being provided with a suitable pocket or recess 21 to accommodate the bolt. The spring 17 is'seated within the recess 21 between the base of said recess and the inner or inserted end of the bolt 16 and the pintle 18 is directed through the slot 22
